Behaviour is super complex. When the amount of responses to a set of Stimuli are small then the outcome is increasingly predictable but considering the size of the planet and the complexity then the stimulus is overwhelming. During growth our brains need to learn fundamental skills and learning is also a skill that if not learnt all that well can hinder progress and learning when you get older. Other things are required to be learnt from a young age such as good morals and behaviour as behaviour is learnt typically from a young age and evolves over time based on other learnings and experiences. Still no matter how hard you try to teach behaviour and to mold a child to become the perfect being you can not control every single stimuli that child will face such as going to school and meeting friends and teachers all with their own behaviours that might get copied and molded into their own. As parents you have a good control but not full control and so depending on the child's upbringing will depend on the severity of "Evil" in the Brain. You see bad parents with bad children and good parents with good children and then a mixture of the two. Rich people think by sending their child to a 40k a year school is best for their child but from what my sister learned, this is not the case. She worked at the school as a teacher and the kids did not want to learn a thing because their parents were loaded so they saw learning as irrelevant, my sister quit with stress due to not being able to teach anything because they couldn't see how essential any kind of learning was to their development.

There is the idea that children learn 50% from parents and 50% from their environment but there is bound to be more factors from the environment that affect the child than their parents. A friend of mine was and is literally neglected by his parents, they didn't want kids but ended up with one and so treated him like crap, he has had to learn to fend for himself. Another friend of mine got beaten by his mum because they wanted a girl not a boy and a few years later they got a girl, she got treated like a princess all her life and he got beaten by his mums walking stick. She died when he was 13 and his dad moved out. He lived with his aunt who doesn't have anything to do with him and he too has had a harsh upbringing and has outside influences to thank for his upbringing. On a more personal note, I feel that my parents were too overprotected and by buying an Xbox to keep us indoors and safe was all the upbringing I needed. I thank games, school, friends and the internet for the way I am. My parents have the lesser majority. I believe we all have "evil" tendencies and I tend to find the root cause of all my hate is ALWAYS traceable to another human being or maybe several.

This is my conclusion anyway, I can't say I ever studied behaviorism but I did have a dabbled into Sports Psychology which taught me a little bit. The root of all Evil is other people and is therefore in the Brain which is passed down from generation to generation and like I always say: Things are only going to get worse

So did Dinosaurs exist before the planet or have I read that wrong? Or maybe as the planet was moving it picked up Dinosaur Bones from other planets along the way making them look like they belonged to earth? This whole when did the world began in terms of religion is confusing, I vote Science, although more complex it actually makes more sense.

And here are the stars of science: A lot more evidence of human evolution than God!

About Me: "This one is machine and nerve and has his mind concluded"

About You: "This one is but flesh and faith and is the more deluded"

We as a species are adapting all the time, we create things all the time and are gradually evolving technology, science and even ourselves so i ask you do you think God built your computer, do you think god created the internet, do you think god created the car you drive to work in, do you think god created the church you preach in, do you think god created atheists, do you think god created governments, nuclear bombs, Hitler, war, hunger, poverty, the space rocket that went to the moon, the international space station, every movie, book, newspaper, every single image and piece of text on the internet. Did god do any of this?

The obvious answer is no but your answer is that god did this through us so therefore god "through me" is determining that he doesn't exist because of the sheer lack of evidence. A big bang happened the rest is just time and eventually water and eventually survival. "One neuron, your alive, two neurons, your moving" The answers of obvious to those that haven't had their brains rotted by 2000 year old trash.

My understanding is that we share 99.7% DNA but not sure where I sourced that info sadly and have been lazy in looking for it again.

I did not choose to believe in the Evolution Theory simply because I realised that Religion isn't all its cracked up to be but because I observed and learned that I realised how obvious it is. We all understand Lions in the Wild Hunting Prey. We all need food to survive, this is obvious. So with Eyes we can see our food, we can see our predators, we can see threats and opportunities.

Back peddle many millions/billions of years and animals on earth didn't have eyes because at the time there wasn't a need. At some point through the predator/prey cycle it became apparent that the senses of sight, smell, touch, hearing and taste became an increasing requirement to survive, I expect there are other senses that other species may have adapted that we have not.

So if your prey and keep getting killed by predators, to increase your chances of survival they evolved eyes but not instantly. At first eyes would only detect faint outlines and then gradually the eyes evolved to detect distance and colour. So now your a predator and you are dying out due to hunger because your prey can see you and escape you, they too evolve eyes to catch back up and prevent their species from dying out. At some point along this line during the Dinosaur age a meteor struck the earth and wiped out most of the vegetation on earth, this in turn dwindled the numbers of herbivores which in turn dwindled the numbers of carnivores and disease was strife also and not a great deal survived this calamity, however evolution carried on and progressed once again from what remained and eventually chimps evolved not directly into us but like the eyes they gradually evolved and became better. The two most important things in the universe to all people should be: The Human Race and The Planet Earth

"I am the monument to all your sins"

Because like all "groups" (remembering that atheists aren't a group or organisation but instead free thinking people who can identity when there is a significant lack of evidence) they worship illogical ways of thinking. The reason you haven't heard of this group is because like God, it doesn't exist. Possibilities aren't in fact endless. This God might be slower than whatever god you believe in but the difference is us atheists are streets ahead of talking snakes and boats with over 20 millions animals on board in a time likely before the first ever navel travel by humans. With just a single error in a piece of evidence, the rest then needs to be thrown out and start over but instead you twist and EVOLVE your "faith" which is fine but one day that faith, whether yours or passed down to your disciples will eventually do one of two things. Firstly all that mis-guided faith will hit a brick wall and then people will stop playing the worlds longest game of chinese whispers or you mis-guided faith will be re-directed onto our GUIDED path of snakes don't talk, a wooden ship with that much weight would either sink or spring a leak within 40 days/nights and then how do you feed all 10 millions species with just 2 of everything (and of course there are way more flaws but I will give you as long as you need to twist a new story or dig a bigger hole or you can have more polish for your turd)

I find it funny that I read a post on here about how hot hell is based on the people that will go there and since ALL or MOST Religions seem to (one way or another) dictate that you will go to hell if you don't believe, yet you can't possibly believe ALL Religions due to ALL the conflictions that we will ALL GO TO HELL. However it mentions that it is impossible to leave hell so how do we know that even exists (was it a secret that god told us about but that we can't hear because god is a higher power and doesn't talk to us in the present day because we have attainable means of proof now unlike then). So simple fact, we are all going to hell (according to religion) So who goes to heaven? Jesus and only Jesus, but he died on the cross for our sins so we could go to heaven but because of the conflicts with all religions we will all end up in hell. (sounds confusing right, this is because of religious nuts screwing and twisting the most complex piece of turd for their children and their childrens children to polish).

So anyway I was playing a game as always and mother puts on TV. She watches an A&E program. They rushed into the Hospital a Christian Scientist who had contracted Measles. The reason he was not vaccinated against measles is because he doesn't believe in vaccinations. Look who the idiot is now lying on a hospital bed with degrading health. Did they pray for him to get better like they should have done. Sadly no, they used Science & Medicine to cure him but of course all science is god in the worlds most stupid circular logic mind **** to date with no evidence but on the flip side there is millions of planet sized pieces of evidence against. So he didn't believe in Vaccines, I would predict but too late because I am saying it first that since I do not believe in God as a comparison to his Vaccines, that I will be the idiot in that bed IF (quote IF) God does exist. But like always you are still trying to find proof and no one has yet put their lab coat on but tonnes of stories have had billions of peoples intepretations spin more stories into an already crazy story.

But basically since god created and controls every molecule in the universe then he created hitler and all his evil plans, he was involved in both sides of EVERY WAR, He created Cancer, he gives you life only to take it and yet all the science out there that makes sense of the whole life cycle you still stick to the Worlds Most Polished Turd Record. Really what you are trying to tell me is that if I go outside and do the most harm to people and the planet that it doesn't matter what happens in the court of law because I could use all your twisted mumbo jumbo to say "God made me do it" and get away scott free. This is the root of all evil because God is your scape goat for everything, He is the reason you do good or evil. The Devil therefore is Gods otherside? The Devil and God are the same. Two sides of the same coin and all that. What is most bizarre is that we call him god. Of all the names we call him, its god and his alter ego is devil and yet God & Good are pretty similar just has an extra 'O' and Devil & Evil are pretty similar too by adding or removing the 'D'. ALL IN THE MIND!

Oh! I'm Sorry, Did I just interupt your game of Chinese Whispers

New Christianity: Every single Molecule in the entire Universe was created by god and they all happen to be in the exact place, not even a millimitre askew, because that is exactly where god wants them to be at any given time and he checks up on every single molecule to make sure it is exactly where it should be (which it always is because its god and he is totally amazing even though no human has seen or heard of him) and this only takes 0.0000000000000000000000000000001 earth seconds to check every molecule of the whole universe.

So basically every thought or action you do is controlled or predetermined by god and therefore you have no control over your own mind or body although you think you do and therefore may as well throw yourself off a bridge because having no control over your thoughts and actions are better than something else having full control of your thoughts and actions whether you think gods intentions for your use are justified or not because it is evident no one knows what their imaginery friends grand outcome for our species is going to be.

New Atheist: Religion is like a turd, you can polish it, put glitter on it and make it sparkle, you can spray it with air freshner but its still just a turd and from a mile away still smells like one.

"This one is but flesh and faith and is the more deluded"

"Your Prophets shall find no salvation on this ring"

"This thing is right, Halo is a weapon, your Prophets are making a big mistake"

Convenient that god appears 2000 years ago and the only piece of evidence is either the bible or the Quran. Present day all we have is the World Record for the Longest Game of Chinese Whispers and its still going.

I expected as much! Religion always has a come back. Surely its quite simple isn't it. You don't spontaniously create the most complex series of events imaginable without putting time, effort and logic into it. God although apparently "no proof" on a higher wave length and thought process than us mere humans managed to spontaniously create everything that we have both discovered and not discovered. What you are telling me is that every single thing that you see day to day that is totally 100% Man-Made was all originally "designed" in a single explosion nearly 14 billions years ago. Surely no matter how complex the creation god took a millisecond to create it and then spent the last 14 billion years just staring at it. I understand that "I create" and "god create" are likely to end up with 2 different outcomes. I baked a cake today, combining ingredients to make a delicious lemon and blueberry cake, On the flip side God was created in the mind and therefore doesn't exist and hasn't created diddly squat. Almost everything on this planet is man made in areas inhabited by humans, the rest is nature but of course that is god too because we have no undeniable proof god even exists but there you go!

Maybe there is a purpose or meaning but this is my logic. If I was going to create something that had an end product (therefore why put humans on this planet) if the end product is greater assuming God is almighty according to everyone then when not just fast forward and create the end product without all this unnecessary life cycle. This makes me think that there is no purpose. You don't create a sniper rifle to then invent the crossbow if you get what I mean. So if there is purpose and meaning chances are we are obselete to that end goal purpose so why are we here.

It seems to me that we are here because of the evolution requirement. When a species finds it difficult to survive because of predators or changes in environment, there becomes a need to evolve and adapt and that the many species constantly trial and error different adaptations (something we don't have conscious control of) until either its too late and become extinct or in fact it works and we evolve to counter the changes. Our purpose is actually very simple, Survive. The problem for our species to a degree is that survival is by far too easy, at least in most parts of the world. Also however due to our more adapted brains coupled with easy survivial we end up being the only ones capable of asking the more complex questions of why are we here. With all our knowledge and capabilities perhaps we should try to accelerate our own evolution to speed up answering these questions. This would likely cause the human race of today to be replaced by a human race of tomorrow but that would simply be because the strong survive and pretty much the world over would not want to be replaced by a more advanced race because we wouldn't dare risk not being top of the food chain.

Mr Hawkings explanation about why we are here was along the lines of everything in the universe being condensed into a size far smaller than imaginable and then it basically exploded spreading debris (planets, stars etc) across what we call the universe. That explosion is still increasing the size of the universe and my theory would be that at some point many trillions of trillions of years away that it would eventually come to a stop but theories are just theories. To be honest I might not have fully understood what Mr Hawking was saying because it was perhaps too complex for supervisor at a convience store but for the most intelligent man alive it might make perfect sense. I don't know if Mr Hawking has made any educational materials about Evolution but to be honest I can see how it works without an education. We evolve eyes to see predators and to see food and then theres all the other senses and abilities we have evolved for good reasons. There are also other things we have perhaps evolved that are a negative affect on living life and this is what I attribute to Trial and Error evolution. Of course you are the educated one so you might have another insight or quote that could perhaps inform me of things I am unaware of. I am pretty much the average joe using his common sense and knowledge to sum up why we are here and seeing if anyone can educate me in areas where my knowledge could be lacking. Just trying to Iron out some creases and perhaps reshape my understanding of lifes big questions.

I take it you didn't watch Mr Hawking then? I have read through all your quotes from other people and there are great interpretations their. It would seem (correct me if I'm wrong) that the big bang could have been created by god but no one knows but aside from that it sounds like what these people are implying is that everything that happened in the bible wasn't gods doing. It seems like all accounts of god doing B - Z have been plundered from the book but we now need to get past A: Did god create the big bang? Watching Hawking, he tries to explain how to overcome A but if I am truly honest I still don't know after watching his explanation.

There is of course the whole Hadron Collider that (as understood by me) has been used to try to create the Higgs Boson (God Particle) and or try to replicate the big bang which in theory could mean that we create a miniature universe on our own planet, thus we would also be "god" and could technically be in our own universe inside another planet but of course that's if that is even possible. Me personally shall continue to live my life denying gods existence but it sounds to me that the only question left unanswered by you is Did god create the universe and only the universe? Maybe he created several, maybe he doesn't exist, seems like the only debate left that currently no one has the answers for so would really just be wasting time debating an unanswerable question.

I know what you were saying about all the Darwin and Evolution stuff but I somehow doubt the possibility that god could engineer a big bang to occur that then creates many forms of life that are almost lost many times on many extinction level events to eventually lead us to present day life that meanwhile everything evolves in a predetermined way to get us to this very point where we are today. If we could create a computer program that insanely complex which would likely take Trillions of Trillions of years to even make a little progress. Plus you would have all the failed experiments and hey maybe that's what we are just one of gods little experiments on the side.

However I am aware of a program someone did create whereby little dots on screen killed each other and then some evolved to survive and basically everything kept evolving to survive and creating many species etc. So maybe we and the whole universe is a computer program and that has just made a light-bulb appear, maybe we are in the Matrix technically! Just throwing some more bizarre theories your way that as far as I know also haven't been dis-proven. I think my real point that I was trying to raise from the beginning whilst trying to dumb down religion is Why are we here? It is evident to me that no one knows, no matter how much I challenge people who profess religion, science, evolution, big bang it is apparent that no one knows the answer and it bugs me that we don't know.

And your undeniable proof of this is located where exactly?

A fight to me implies violence which is unnecessary. I had a bout of cabin fever a few years ago when I was unemployed and bored out of my skull. One day I happened to be greeted at the door by a couple of Jehovahs and spent 45 minutes outside listening to their preaching. After that I thought these people were crazy, I was christian listening to fanatical stories and thinking no wonder your door to door knocking but who on earth would believe that crap. Cabin fever kicks in and I started to tear apart at my own religion. Millions of animals on a boat sounds pretty farfetch'd. So as time went on I unspiralled by Christian beliefs in my mind and concluded that since I had found at least one inconsistency then the belief was no longer required.

I guess what is too human of me was "searching" for something to believe in. Although I did not place any effort or research into anything, I began to realise why we have senses (sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste) and I concluded Evolution to be the more appropriate and logical "religion" if you will. Since being a little boy however I was always obsessed with the solar system. I had several telescopes growing up and several statical maps of the solar system. Although again I haven't really put much effort in research about the creation of our planet or solar system, I had heard of the big bang. This to me is a somewhat realistic concept but to be honest I still have my doubts. No one (religion or science) can actually state for definate what caused the big bang. Religion indicates it to be god, science indicates a more complex theory and more likely theory. I have theories of my own but I can't say that I believe any of religions, sciences or my own theories as to the creation of the planet or solar system or universe. However I do believe Evolution occurred, most simply because we have countless amounts of physical proof and the fact that microscopic organisms have had to adapt to survive and the whole predator-prey cycle to get to where we are now.

I thought that the best place to find answers would likely be from the worlds most intelligent man. I have posted a link to this hour and a half long video that I have watched all the way through. I kind of wish they had a voice actor dub over it but what he teaches is more of a logical explanation to some of lifes questions and also questions whether we do or do not require an attachment to a creator.

Its quite easy to pick up on some empty spaces that I might leave in a single message and for you to fill in the blanks like you always seem to do and when you talk about inconsistencies and inaccuracies these surely relate primarily to the stories that were told to me because they are illogical and fundamentally flawed and you can keep jeering IQ all you want but it doesn't make you smarter by doing so, nor do is prove the existence of god, nor does it rectify the gaping holes in the "stories" of the bible, nor does it increase your own IQ. I think I am struggling to understand everyone elses points raised by mine, sure I might not have all my facts right, because lets face it, I am not a historian, a scientist, a priest. I am just a young lad working away in a corner shop, working hard to put money in the bank to put food in the stomach to allow me to get to old age and then to occupy a small wooden box 6ft underground. God didn't build the shop, stack the shelves, provide the shop with hungry customers, provide all the stock and he won't provide a small wooden box for my remains. Somehow though he did plan all that by creating Adam and Eve. All life is, is everyone trying to make ends meet and whether we build a new shop or church or science lab, its all down to supply and demand and making ends meet and if people want to waste their time on their knees with their head in their hands then feel free but as always, I have mouths to feed and praying is not going to put a crumb on any of these plates.

"This one is but flesh and faith and is the more deluded"

It is of course extremely easy to insult another person, I do wish it was that easy for you to provide evidence of the existence of god though instead. So put the Bible down, get your lab coat on and get proving!
